Found this at an EXTREMELY cool wine and beer shop that has an insane import selection. The logo design is killer and it's brewed with barley, red rice and sake yeast.

Really interesting nose to this one and I think the sake yeast comes through quite a bit. The flavor is like a very mildly fruited ale and it's very well balanced - the nose has some astringency to it that isn't there at all in the taste, which is great.

SUPER interesting beer. I wasn't sure at the first sip but I'd definitely grab this again.

I just found out about a limited edition brew by the #Philippines' #EngkantoBrewery and a collab with #Japan's #Hitachino.

Very refreshing, and perfect for any @pinoy boiling under our hot weather. Characteristically unlike any previous brew styles by Engkanto, which is good I think.

P.S. They've switched to four-pack bottles, rather than six, no doubt, because of inflation.
